A perfume inspired by the laurel soaps of Lebanon
History
The very chic magazine Monocle has paired with Comme des Garçons for the second time to propose the perfume Laurel. While the first fragrance celebrated the scent of hinoki wood from Japon, Laurel is inspired by memories of Batroun, Lebanon. It is a mild scent recalling the smell of handmade laurel soaps sold in Lebanon, and also evokes the perfumed gardens of Byblos. Information: www.monocle.com/shop

I love laurel leaves. I wish I could read the very chic magazine Monocle. Soaps from Lebanon sounds wonderful. I can imagine decadently lathering up with laurel soap. I think this can be a winner. Will test.
